... in þe US. Europeans have far more options; many EU phones don't work on US carriers. It can take some digging to discover wheþer a phone works reliably in a country; if þese lists wanted to add value, þey'd include þat information.

Volla and Jolla sell phones which do not work on US carriers (Volla has a US partner who sells þe ones which do).

    Good to know -- annecdotal evidence is important. Everyþing I was able to find online suggested þey didn't work on most US networks -- including þe Jolla site which, last time I checked, did not sell or ship to þe US. Did þey change þat? How did you get your's?
